The Hudson Valley Wine Country is announcing the largest and most ambitious program of events ever in the history of the Hudson Valley wine region.

The Hudson Valley has seen explosive growth in its wine industry in the last few years,, with wineries expanding, and new ones opening, and has also seen a renewed interest in the oldest wine region in the US.

With wineries recieving recent reviews in the New York Times, the Wall Street Journal, Wine Spectator, Wine Enthusiast, Snooth.com, Hudson Valley Magazine, The Valley Table, and the Edible magazines, Hudson Valley wines reputation are at an all time high...and only going upward.

Thousands and thousands of people will rive through the Hudson Valley countryside this fall, looking at the leaves, stopping at farms for apples and pumkins. It's a great time to seak out one of more than 40 wineries in the Hudson Valley and try the fantastic wines that are being made here.
